Dye composition comprising nonionic guar gum or a nonionic derivative thereof, process and device for the same

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing human keratin fibres such as the hair, in mousse form, comprising: (a) at least one oxidation dye precursor; (b) at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant; (c) at least a second surfactant chosen from nonionic and anionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof; (d) at least one fatty substance; (e) at least one nonionic guar gum. The invention also relates to a process for dyeing human keratin fibres, in which is applied a composition preferably in foam form, obtained by mixing the above mentioned composition, free of oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen, with a composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen, and also to a suitable multi-compartment device.

The present invention relates to a dye composition comprising oxidation dye precursors, at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, at least one nonionic or anionic surfactant, and at least one nonionic guar gum, and also to a dyeing process using a mixture in foam form obtained from the said composition, free of oxidizing agent, which is mixed with an oxidizing composition before application. The invention also relates to suitable multi-compartment devices.

Among the methods for dyeing human keratin fibres, such as the hair, mention may be made of oxidation dyeing or permanent dyeing. More particularly, this form of dyeing uses one or more oxidation dyes, usually one or more oxidation bases optionally combined with one or more couplers.

In general, the oxidation bases are chosen from ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases are colourless or weakly coloured compounds which, when combined with oxidizing products, can give access to coloured entities.

The shades obtained with these oxidation bases are often varied by combining them with one or more couplers, these couplers being chosen especially from aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds, such as indole compounds.

The variety of the molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers allows a rich range of colours to be obtained.

Permanent dyeing processes thus consist in using, with the dye composition, an aqueous composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, under alkaline pH conditions in the vast majority of cases. The alkaline agent conventionally used is aqueous ammonia or other alkaline agents, such as alkanolamines.

The dye compositions applied to the fibres (thus comprising the oxidizing agent) may be in various forms such as lotions, gels, emulsions, creams or foams.

Dyeing foams are pleasant to use, but they have drawbacks. Thus, they often have poor staying power over time. For example, rapid disappearance of the foam after application may be observed. Moreover, they can often lead to non-uniform application along the fibres.

There is a real need to develop oxidation dye compositions which, firstly, before being mixed with the oxidizing composition, have suitable rheology, and which, after mixing with the oxidizing agent, produce a good foam texture and the foam remains sufficiently stable over time, with good working qualities once applied, while at the same time retaining efficient dyeing properties, especially in terms of build-up and homogeneity of the coloration obtained.

This aim and others are achieved by the present invention, one subject of which is thus a composition for dyeing human keratin fibres, such as the hair, comprising:

-   -   (a) at least one oxidation dye precursor;     -   (b) at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant;     -   (c) at least a second surfactant chosen from nonionic and         anionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof;     -   (d) at least one fatty substance other than ceramides;     -   (e) at least one nonionic guar gum.

The invention also relates to a process for dyeing human keratin fibres, in which is applied a composition preferably in foam form, obtained by mixing the abovementioned dye composition, free of oxidizing agent, with a composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen.

Similarly, a subject of the invention is a non-aerosol multi-compartment device comprising the said dye composition free of oxidizing agent; an oxidizing composition and optionally a foam dispenser, which may be equipped with a mechanical pumping system, comprising a dispensing system for delivering the mixture of the two abovementioned compositions, in the form of a foam.

The invention similarly relates to an aerosol device comprising a means for producing, in foam form, a composition comprising the abovementioned dye composition and an oxidizing composition.

The composition of the invention, free of oxidizing agent (other than atmospheric oxygen), is in the form of a product of creamy texture, which, when mixed with the oxidizing composition, produces a foam that is particularly pleasant to apply. This foam has a light, airy texture, which makes it particularly pleasant to use. The qualities of the foam are sufficiently long-lasting to enable uniform application of the dye product, without running.

The composition of the invention makes it possible to obtain good dyeing properties, such as strength of the colour, resistance to external agents (shampooing, perspiration, light) and homogeneity, which are particularly efficient.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the description and the examples that follow.

In the text hereinbelow, and unless otherwise indicated, the limits of a range of values are included in that range.

The term “at least one” associated with an ingredient of the composition signifies “one or more”.

The human keratin fibres treated by means of the process according to the invention are preferably the hair.

Oxidizing Agent

The composition according to the invention may also comprise at least one oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen.

In particular, the oxidizing agent(s) suitable for use in the present invention are chosen, for example, from hydrogen peroxide, urea peroxide, alkali metal bromates or ferricyanides, peroxygenated salts, for instance persulfates, perborates, peracids and precursors thereof and percarbonates of alkali metals or alkaline-earth metals. Advantageously, the oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide.

Additives

The composition may also contain various adjuvants conventionally used in compositions for dyeing or lightening the hair, such as anionic, cationic, nonionic or amphoteric polymers, or mixtures thereof; cationic surfactants; antioxidants; penetrants; sequestrants; fragrances; dispersants; film-forming agents; ceramides; preserving agents; opacifiers.

The above adjuvants are generally present in an amount, for each of them, of between 0.01% and 20% by weight relative to the weight of the composition.

The composition according to the invention may comprise water and/or one or more organic solvents.

Examples of organic solvents that may be mentioned include linear or branched and preferably saturated monoalcohols or diols, comprising 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, hexylene glycol (2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol), neopentyl glycol and 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol and propylene glycol; aromatic alcohols such as benzyl alcohol or phenylethyl alcohol; polyols containing more than two hydroxyl functions, such as glycerol; polyol ethers, for instance ethylene glycol monomethyl, monoethyl and monobutyl ethers, propylene glycol or ethers thereof, for instance propylene glycol monomethyl ether; and also diethylene glycol alkyl ethers, especially C₁-C₄ alkyl ethers, for instance diethylene glycol monoethyl ether or monobutyl ether, alone or as a mixture.

The organic solvents, when they are present, generally represent between 1% and 40% by weight relative to the total weight of the dye composition, and preferably between 5% and 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the dye composition.

The composition is preferably aqueous. In this case, it preferably comprises from 30% to 95% by weight of water, better still from 40% to 90% by weight of water and even better still from 50% to 85% by weight of water relative to the total weight of the composition.

The pH of the composition according to the invention, if it is aqueous, generally ranges from 6 to 11 and preferentially from 8.5 to 11.

It may be adjusted to the desired value by means of acidifying or basifying agents usually used in the dyeing of keratin fibres.

Dyeing Process

The dyeing process according to the invention consists in applying to human keratin fibres a composition preferably in foam form obtained by mixing a dye composition as described previously, free of oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen, with a composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen.

In a preferred variant of the invention, the composition after mixing is thus, when applied to the fibres, in the form of a foam.

The composition in foam form is formed from a mixture of air or an inert gas with the composition described previously.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the composition according to the invention is in the form of a temporary foam produced just before use.

According to this embodiment, the composition may be packaged in a foam dispenser.

It may either be a case of “aerosol” products dispensed from a pressurized container by means of a propellant gas and thus forming a foam at the moment when they are dispensed.

It may also be a case of products dispensed from a container which is closed by means of a dispensing head, the passage of the composition through the dispensing head transforming the composition into foam at the very latest at the outlet orifice of such a head, this being achieved by pressure exerted by hands on the container.

It may also be a case of products dispensed from a container which is closed by means of a dispensing head, the passage of the composition through the dispensing head transforming the composition into foam at the very latest at the outlet orifice of such a head, this being achieved by pressure exerted by hands on the container.

Finally, the foam may be obtained by shaking the mixture of the composition according to the invention with an oxidizing composition in a shaker.

According to a first variant, the dispenser may be an aerosol, containing, besides the base composition, which is generally divided into two parts, one with the oxidizing agent(s) and the other with the dye precursor(s), a propellent gas. In such a configuration the two portions are generally stored separately, each in a pressurized container. Thus, the propellent gases selected in each of the containers may be suitable for the portion contained.

The propellent gas that may be used may be chosen from carbon dioxide, nitrogen, nitrogen oxide, dimethyl ether, volatile hydrocarbons such as butane, isobutane, propane, pentane, and mixtures thereof.

In practice, for this variant, use will be made of either aerosol packaging with a single container that internally contains two pouches, or a double aerosol that therefore contains two containers. In both cases, the dispensing head is such that what is sprayed in foam form is the composition according to the invention, that is to say the mixture of the composition with the oxidizing agent(s) and the composition with the oxidation dye precursor(s).

According to another embodiment, the composition may be in a foam dispenser of the “pump bottle” type. These dispensers comprise a dispensing head for delivering the composition, a pump and a dip tube for transferring the composition from the container into the head in order to deliver the product. The foam is formed by forcing the composition to pass through a material comprising a porous substance such as a sintered material, a filtering grid made of plastic or of metal, or similar structures.

Such dispensers are well known to those skilled in the art and are described in patents: U.S. Pat. No. 3,709,437 (Wright), U.S. Pat. No. 3,937,364 (Wright), U.S. Pat. No. 4,022,351 (Wright), U.S. Pat. No. 4,147,306 (Bennett), U.S. Pat. No. 4,184,615 (Wright), U.S. Pat. No. 4,598,862 (Rice), U.S. Pat. No. 4,615,467 (Grogan et al.), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,031 (Tamiguchi et al.).

According to another embodiment, the composition may be in a foam dispenser comprising a dispensing head for delivering the composition, and a dip tube for transferring the composition from the container to the head; the passage of the composition to the dispensing head being performed by exerting a pressure on the flexible walls of the container (squeeze bottle).

In practice, for these last two variants, the oxidizing composition is conditioned in a first container equipped with a stopper, and the dye composition is conditioned in a second container, separate from the first, and also closed by means of a closing member. The closing member may be a pump-dispensing mechanism. The ready-to-use composition is then formed by mixing, before use, a composition with the oxidizing agent(s) and a composition according to the invention with the oxidation dye precursor(s). To this end, to limit the number of containers provided, one from among the first and second container defines an internal volume that is sufficient to receive therein all of the two compositions. The mixture of the compositions may be homogenized by closing this container and by shaking the container. The closure of the container is advantageously carried out directly with the dispensing head. This dispensing head may comprise a mechanical pump held in a ring intended for mounting by snap-fitting or screwing onto the neck of the container containing the mixture. The pump comprises a pump body connected to a dip tube to enable all of the mixture to be dispensed. The pump also comprises a push button for activation of the pump body, such that, on each activation, a dose of composition is sucked up into the dip tube and ejected in foam form out of the dispensing orifice of the head.

If the container does not comprise a pump, the dispensing head is connected to a dip tube to enable dispensing of all of the mixture.

In these two variants, the containers are preferably made of a thermoplastic material and are obtained by extrusion blow moulding or injection blow moulding processes. In particular, the container intended for packaging the composition with the oxidation dye precursor(s) is made of a material comprising a non-zero proportion of EVOH.

If the container comprises a pump, it is, for example, the standard “F2-L9” model offered by the company Rexam.

According to this preferred embodiment, a subject of the invention is a non-aerosol device comprising the ready-to-use composition derived from the mixing of the composition of the invention with an oxidizing composition.

The dyeing process according to the invention consists in applying to wet or dry human keratin fibres a composition resulting from the mixing of a composition as described previously, free of oxidizing agent other than air, with a composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent.

The composition is left in place for a time sufficient to develop the desired coloration.

The dyeing process is generally performed at room temperature (between 15 and 25° C.) and up to temperatures that may be as high as 60° C. to 80° C.

After a leave-on time of from one minute to one hour and preferably from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, the keratin fibres are rinsed with water, optionally washed with a shampoo and then rinsed with water.

The examples that follow serve to illustrate the invention without, however, being limiting in nature.
